Play track music while viewing a BBS, see the Help section inside the app. It can also play a modem handshake sound to emulate the good old dialup times and also emulates mechanical keyboard sounds ;) Full old shit expirience!!!
Autotext is a simple feature, for writing text to BBSes with too much lag. If there is too much lag in the connection, its very difficult to write text (correct mistakes, go back etc.) So with autotext, you write the text you want locally in a Form and then its sended, automatically to the BBS.
Detects RegEx values on screen and you can either copy the founded text or launch an application for it. For example you can use it to browse URLs.
To use it as a DOOR, in the command line specify the path and filename to the DOOR32.SYS file like: ./blocker /home/my/path/door32.sys
Make sure to configure properly all ACS levels in the configuration file (blocker.ini)
- For the time being, IPv6 is not supported. If you have an IPv6 Address, convert it (if possible) to IPv4 and then enter it to connect.
